String Quartet Concert A Musical Conversation by Shine BrightX

Cedar Collective presents String Quartet Concert: A Musical Conversation, a special Melbourne preview before their Hobart performance, featuring contemporary Australian string quartet works interwoven with fiddle tunes from Tasmanian convict composer Alexander Laing. The program includes Jaslyn Robertson’s Aerobatics, Anne Cawrse’s Skittled, Maria Grenfell’s Silhouettes, Dominic Flynn’s Mill, and an encore of Paul Stanhope’s Dancing with Strangers. Performed by Sara Barbagallo and Jessica Leigh on violin, Edmund Mantelli on viola, and Sarah Wang on cello, the intimate concert takes place on 26 April 2026 from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM at St John's Anglican Church in Malvern East. This event traces connections across generations, composers, and the evolving voice of Australian music in a reflective church setting.
